I was told by someone that its easy to precook Lamb for instance in a pressure cooker. Fact is I'm scared of blowing the house/kitchen up with it. :
You can use a pressure cooker for loads of different types of foods.
When you purchase a pressure cooker you normally get a small recipe book with it, but I also purchased a book for about ?5 on-line, it has loads of recipes in it.
They also reckon that the foods are better for you as they hold in more of the nutrients, etc, I don't know how true that is, but they definitely save loads of time on cooking and the food tastes just as good as conventional cooking.
There are loads of horror stories about exploding pressure cookers but I think they are from many years ago when they weren't made to the same high quality as they are these days
